2013 - Biggest tomato Competition

How about a Cozy Coat? (similar products sold under the name 'Wall of Water')

Interesting bit about the red tint - I've never heard about that before.

 

Thats an interesting idea - wish I had thought of it. Theres quite a lot of info on how different coloured light effects plants on the internet, although it does tend to be on the sites dedicated to growing naughty things so just be aware that people may be tracking your browsing habits. I have noticed that my homemade grow light which uses mostly blue LEDs seems to make the seedlings produce big leaves, so I do think that theres something in it.

 

Ta da !!Angelo has entered the arena guys, and is ready to be contested.
1) cut loose from Mamma but still with his jacket on

ooh, striptease..- taken his jacket off ( bring on the strippers music ). Glad he's come in as he's starting to spit a bit.

The scales set at zero.

Come on Angelo - show 'em what you've got
A handsome 550 grams or
1lb 3.4007 ounces.
Hereby submitted for judging,
Jenny namaste

 

Well done Jenny.....C'mon the girls!

 

This is his OFFICIAL WEIGHT as recorded on my Jempsons/ Budgens Supermarket scales .They say he weighs 565 grams !!

 

Jenny, I'm so proud of Angelo's Bulgarian background!
And you've obviously taken good care of him!
Great!

 

Well done, I suspected it would take first place (my tomato girth to weight converter spread sheet estimated it at 575g).

 

Angelina,

he knew it was his duty to you and your fellow countrymen to be the best. He's withstood all sorts of inclement weather since May but has never buckled; a fine representative of Bulgaria,
Jenny Namaste

 

He's a whopper! Well done Jenny

 

@Jenny namaste I've just noticed from the pics that it had a split in it, so definitely time to harvest before it rotted.

@JWK can you please up Jenny's tomato weight up to 565g as per http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/2013-biggest-tomato-competition.49988/page-13#post-727166

 

So who's still left to weigh in any of their tomatoes other than @Vince

Got any pics yet? and myself (mine are still growing)?

 

I know in not in the competition but heres my cherry Tom (compared to Jenny's anyway )
It a beef master

 

I've got several more Beefmasters beginning to ripen, one of them looks as if it might just beat my previous best effort. It's still green, but I think it's finished growing now so hopefully a few more sunny warm days this weekend should see it starting to change colour.

I don't think it will come close to beating Jenny's magnificent specimen though.

 

Ive still got one more to come, Im guessing at about 1lb or so
